Important Update Regarding Re-Opening to Provide In-Person Services

In light of the most recent provincial announcement made on May 14, 2020, allowing in-person counselling services to resume, Insight Psychology on Norfolk will slowly and carefully begin to resume some in-person services where appropriate. We continue to put your safety as well as the safety of our clinicians as our first priority as we move towards bringing back our full range of services. We ask for your patience as we adjust to meet provincial health guidelines. For more information, please contact your clinician directly or our administrative assistant, Pauline at 519-823-2323 (ext. 221).
